### 4/5 — perplexing

*2026-08-06, version 1.29.1*

While the game is very fascinating, it requires a certain amount of effort that i am far too lackadaisical to adequately supply. The characters are well formed and the story is captivating, but i am fairly perturbed as to how you are required to restart the farms each time you have completed an arc.

### 2/5 — Way too much story

*2026-07-31, version 1.29.1*

Everytime I complete a task, the story line pops up. It’s so annoying. Hoping it doesn’t keep doing it through the whole game.

### 2/5 — Forced ads have ruined this game

*2026-06-07, version 1.28.1*

I’ve played this game for years, it’s fantastic to fill some spare time but since adding forced adds it’s really put me off the game and I find myself loading up opening a chest to revive a forced ad and turning the game off before the ads finished, please go back to only having ads if you want a bonus, thank you.

### 3/5 — Ich liebe dieses Spiel

*2026-06-01*

An sich wirklich ein tolles games das ich ne zeit lang total gesuchtet habe aber seit dem ich einer weile nicht mehr reingegangen bin, kann ich das game leider nicht mehr spielen ohne das mir alles einfriert, sobald ich meine afk rewards einsammeln möchte, es bleibt immer in dem event leaderboard stecken

### 2/5 — Ok but not the best

*2026-05-19, version 1.28.1*

This game is alright but I want pot farm high profits back that was a great one

### 2/5 — BudFarm

*2026-05-13, version 1.28.1*

Been playing for year and a half,last several months I have to keep swiping out of the game keeps crashing and have to reload it play for a few minutes and black screen again and again and again!!!! Really getting over it if it keeps happening it will go bye bye please fix I enjoy playing but will find another one.

### 4/5 — Rated

*2026-04-23, version 1.28.0*

Rated 4 for 420 babbbbyyyyy 🍁🍀  pretty good game tbh, nice and chill while I blaze uppppppp

### 2/5 — Good game but!!

*2026-04-08, version 1.28.0*

Would be a great game, however it takes over to much. Talks to much. Doesn’t know how to get to the point … :/ like I’m just trying to play man. Not keep skipping stuff😅

### 3/5 — Cute but money hungry

*2026-03-01, version 1.27.2*

Very similar developer push as Supercell. Do not spend a dime as it’s just a scam for money. Impossible to keep up with challenges but don’t worry , the ads that the game literally FORCES you to select in order to progress will definitely prove worth it… Sorry but this world and economy are sad. The game and vibe are cute don’t get me wrong, I just see corporate bs littered all over it sadly.

### 5/5 — Dope Asf Dude

*2026-02-19, version 1.27.2*

I don’t know what all these losers in the reviews are talking about. I have spent zero dollars whatsoever and have gotten very good even the events are running fine for me just an amazing game, TYSM

### 3/5 — Repeater Reefer mini event

*2026-02-18, version 1.27.2*

Enough is enough. If you’re not going to let this repeater be updated to giving out more diamonds quit with it being a regular mini. Mine has been maxed out for a long, long time and this is why your game, and I do like playing, is getting stale & boring. PLUS I shouldn’t have to watch a stupid ad EVER after I open an event chest or Zekes chest. I understand for extra time or double whatever or the extra buds, but for chests hard pass.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Timer chest ads

*2026-07-11, version 1.29.0*

Tired of getting ads every time I open a timer chest. Please don’t do this.

### 1/5 — This game has deteriorated.

*2026-06-27, version 1.29.0*

In addition to falling into the trend of having to have some version of a “Battle Pass” that’s incredibly overpriced for a mobile game there have been sneaky changes that they think people won’t notice, like reducing bonuses for watching ads from x5 to x3 or x2 in some cases. Repetitive events, events that aren’t reasonably able to be finished without spending significant resources (both real world currency and in-game currency) and a lack of an active (key word) pipeline to leave feedback I have to suggest you find a different app to play until they inevitably fall in line with excessive micro-transactions, ads every two minutes, an overpriced season pass of some kind that they will constantly remind you is there, or a combo of all three.

### 1/5 — They support AI

*2026-06-03, version 1.28.1*

Downloaded the game, decided to scroll Instagram first, and saw they use ai for their ads, who knows what else they’re cutting corners on. I didn’t even get a chance to enjoy the game for even a few hours before I had to delete it. Incredibly disappointing; you have artists, use them instead of using the single most insulting and disrespectful thing to an artist.

### 1/5 — Meh

*2026-05-04, version 1.28.0*

Been playing this game for a few years now, I keep going back to it hoping it will change but they just want your money. And even when you spend the money the bots still take top spot in all the events anyway so you never win back what you put in. You’re spending money NOT to get ahead of the bots. Wouldn’t recommend unless this is changed. Get rid of the bots.

### 1/5 — Pay to win

*2026-04-23, version 1.28.0*

When you don’t pay for the buds or shadder you don’t get enough to upgrade the characters in the events, you only get 30 buds when you watch a 30 to 60 sec video, and the characters cost 750 or more to upgrade. Then the little flying guy that comes through every 2 min or so, it only gives 15 buds and 45 if you watch another video this game is so many adds anymore, and now not even 45

### 1/5 — Game stuck after it shows costumes

*2026-04-15, version 1.28.0*

Redownloaded the game to play and after it showed the costumes I’m stuck on the screen there. Opened and closed multiple times but it keeps redoing the costume tutorial and getting stuck. So I can’t even play.

### 1/5 — Constant pop ups

*2026-04-02, version 1.28.0*

Start the game? Pop up. 
Unlock the next business? Pop up.
“One time deal!” Pop up, but it’s not a “one time deal,” because it pops up constantly during events.

This game used to be fun. Now it’s a fight to accomplish anything between the stupid pop up ads. 

I get it. The company needs to earn money. But this is NOT the way. 

Deleted the game. Maybe there’s one that’s similar that doesn’t nag constantly.

### 1/5 — Ridiculous

*2026-03-23, version 1.27.2*

Not only is there too many ads, they don’t close out on the first X. No. They have one or two more X’s. This game is set up for you to spend money. You will never get far if you don’t spend real money. It’s a complete waste. BORING!!!!

### 1/5 — Recent updates

*2026-02-19, version 1.27.2*

The game is ok, I’ve been playing for year but recently I’ve noticed they made it impossible to win the mini game’s rewards without spending money! Used to be you won gold easier but now it’s either you purchase it or you don’t get anything 😒 really frustrating

### 1/5 — Cheaters Everywhere

*2026-01-05*

This game is full of cheaters who always win the events (the event is the only way you can progress through the main game). The devs used to quickly respond to reports and remove cheaters, but they’ve stopped doing that (I assume in hopes that real players will pay more real money in an attempt to win), so do not download/play this game, you can’t even “pay to win” in a game where cheaters are allowed to place in events. There’s no point to this game anymore.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the review! We perform regular cheater checks to ensure the leaderboards are fair. If you suspect someone of cheating, please email a screenshot of their username on the leaderboard to support@budfarmidle.zendesk.com so we can investigate them for you.

*2026-05-01, version 1.28.0*

Very relaxing & interesting story lines.

### 5/5 — Don’t waste your money

*2026-03-12, version 1.27.2*

I became very proficient playing this game and decided to start spending money on it
Then spend even more money on it.
I get to first place the first day,
Automated the first day. I only need the business cards to max the final business but don’t want to buy 225 cards when I only need 90. I give up on it now. A player came out of nowhere and passed me. No more purchases for this game anymore. Not worth your money for what you receive in prizes. Remember that when you decide to stop spending money, some one else will.
